    I think he looks good but suffers from the same problem as TR Galvatron. The forearm cannon mounted on the elbow side... it should be on the outside of his arm so he can bend his elbow with it attached.

    I wouldn't mind a re-mold into the barbarian version although it is very unlikely

    I agree the gun should be on the side, hopefully they find a way so it can do both sides. I have looked at the gun in different pictures and it is possible there is a way it can slot into the little groove on the side of the arm

    @down_shift can you give us any insight as to mounting options for the arm cannon?

    There's no forearm swivel, and no existing side-mount port, so we're just going to have to drill a hole for the 5mm peg.

    I'm less than thrilled by this lack of articulation, that's a real misstep from IF.
    Lost a lot of my initial enthusiasm now.

    Something about his design reminds me of their Dai Atlas so I think his shoulder articulation will be very similar to that, although the cannon arm and ankle articulation are gonna be a problem. Not too sure if there's a waist swivel either

    Are you sure there isn't a forearm swivel? It looks like there is one

    That's a bicep swivel, not a forearm swivel. It will do nothing to change the orientation of the arm cannon without making his elbow turn to an awkward position.

    Forearm swivel would be between the elbow and the wrist. Between the elbow and shoulder is a bicep swivel.

    These Iron Factory IDW figures are so cute and detailed at the size. I never completed my MMC DJD set, but I'm going to look around and hope I can still find the Iron Factory set somewhere.
    This Galvatron is a must have. If they repaint him into a barbarian version I'll buy that one to be Arcee.

    So it looks like they changed it so his cannon can be forearm mounted now, which is good. Also love that they gave him the barbarian head option and the axe as well

    Think that IF is still working threw their 2019 backlog. Soundwave should have come in November 2019, Ultra Magnus v2 December 2019 and the first 2 Iron Samurai figures in the first 2 months of 2020. We just got Bludgeon and haven't gotten to Soundwave and Ultra Magnus. I don't expect to see Galvatron any time soon. Could be wrong of course.

    I'm beginning to doubt this thing even existed.
